This data can replace (or add)the red channel in a colour image to get really faint nebulae to be imaged.
It is really nice to be able to image and not worry about the Moon interfering.

wow, they remind me of UK Schmidt places when I visited the UK Schmidt telescope at Siding Springs back in the late 80's. Well done Bert.
I love my 8mbit net connection the big pics came up in a fraction of a second :)

Very nice Bert - quite stunning images especially with the Moon present. Quite a performer that Canon lens, and wide open too, notwithstanding the operator expertise!

Cheers
